This is such a great #lupus100 question that many patients have.
Getting to know your #lupus is key to have the answer, although all of us encounter situations in which we are not sure. In case of doubt, remember to always consult your physician and never self-medicate!

itsmorenamorena @itsmorenamorena

@LupusEurope @ern_reconnet I remember asking, if I'm going to feel bad pretty much all the time, how will I ever know that I'm sick/ill with another ailment, vs my symptoms just being Lupus?

Still not sure I have an answer for that and Lupus has lived with me almost 10 years now...🤔

#Fatigue, a highly multifactorial manifestation of #lupus, can be related to disease activity or independent of the disease itself. Investigators determined whether fatigue could be a significant confounder of Physician Global Assessment ratings.
